Deriving closed-form analytical expressions for reduced-order models, and judiciously choosing the closures leading to them, has long been the strategy of choice for studying phase- and noise-induced transitions for agent-based models (ABMs). In this paper, we propose a data-driven framework that pinpoints phase transitions for an ABM-the Desai-Zwanzig model-in its mean-field limit, using a smaller number of variables than traditional closed-form models. To this end, we use the manifold learning algorithm Diffusion Maps to identify a parsimonious set of data-driven latent variables, and we show that they are in one-to-one correspondence with the expected theoretical order parameter of the ABM.

Two-dimensional multi-element phase gratings can be engineered to show an even symmetry along one direction while an odd symmetry along the other direction in terms of offset refractive indices in each unit cell. The interplay of such even and odd symmetries has been explored to tailor diffraction columns and rows on demand by making offset refractive indices to satisfy specific requirements and hence attain different types of destructive interference. The resultant tailoring effects include the directional column elimination, the grouped column elimination, and the directional column selection as well as the natural row absence, the grouped row elimination, and the central row selection.

Nonadiabatic Ultracold Quantum Reactive Scattering of Hydrogen with Vibrationally Excited HD( = 5-9).

J Phys Chem A

November 2019

Theoretical Division , Los Alamos National Laboratory , Group T-1, Mail Stop B221, Los Alamos , New Mexico 87544 , United States.

The results from electronically non-adiabatic and adiabatic quantum reactive scattering calculations are presented for the H + HD( = 5-9) → H + HD(', ') reaction at ultracold collision energies from 10 nK to 60 K. Several experimentally verifiable signatures of the geometric phase are reported in the total and vibrationally and rotationally resolved rate coefficients. Most notable is the predicted 2 orders of magnitude enhancement of the rotationally resolved ultracold rates of odd symmetry relative to those of even symmetry.

Symmetry and the geometric phase in ultracold hydrogen-exchange reactions.

J Chem Phys

August 2017

Theoretical Division (T-1, MS B221), Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545, USA.

Quantum reactive scattering calculations are reported for the ultracold hydrogen-exchange reaction and its non-reactive atom-exchange isotopic counterparts, proceeding from excited rotational states. It is shown that while the geometric phase (GP) does not necessarily control the reaction to all final states, one can always find final states where it does. For the isotopic counterpart reactions, these states can be used to make a measurement of the GP effect by separately measuring the even and odd symmetry contributions, which experimentally requires nuclear-spin final-state resolution.
